Helen's High Protein Low Carb Pancakes

My mom invented this recipe a few years ago for our low carb lifestyle. it makes a nice break from eggs. we have often served these pancakes to guests not on a diet and they enjoy them too. it's a great way to get your omega-3's from flax. the recipe is very flexible, and you don't even need to measure the ingredients--just eyeball the proportions, or vary it to suit yourself after you've gotten the idea. i have used sour cream or cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and it works just as well (plain yogurt would be good, too). cottage cheese makes a very tender, flavorful pancake, but omit the salt because cottage cheese is quite salty compared to the others.

Steps

Mix all ingredients together and stir well.

Spoon onto preheated , oiled griddle and cook as usual.

Serve with butter and low-carb syrup , or sour cream and berries.

Batter will thicken as it sits , so if you refrigerate it till the next day , you will probably need to thin it.

If the batter is too thin , stir in a little more flax.

Also.

You may use either regular flax , or golden flax , which produces a lighter texture and color.

You can often get it in bulk bins at your health food store for a great price.
